It's no different from the general state of the law on corporate killing. Nobody was jailed over the Herald of Free Enterprise sinking, or over any other large UK corporate disaster I can think of. It's just not, as far as I can tell, a special case - it's just a more exposed example of something that's been known to be a shambling disaster for at least a couple of decades. Personally I tend to think that anyone who tells you different just hasn't been paying attention.
